Across the country, vigils have been held in remembrance of the victims of the shooting. It’s not acceptable to want to harm others because they’re not like you. “We are in solidarity with Orlando”.
Prosper, who has a gay son and a lesbian sister, said Sunday’s massacre took a toll on the family, but she and her friend, Adelia Rosario, 31, said they won’t allow themselves to be terrorized.
“I think what was most powerful about it was having so many people from so many different backgrounds”, says Mabry.
“That the church disdains them and this is our effort to invite them to pray with us”.
Carol Henderson, associate vice provost for diversity, said that silence sometimes speaks the unspeakable when tragedies like Orlando happen.
Smith said she anxious she wouldn’t be able to keep her composure through the service, but then thought, no, she didn’t want to keep it.
“You can’t be on guard for everything, or you’re never going to be able to live your life”, Wagener said.
Hundreds of people attended a vigil beside City Hall this evening organised by the three groups.
“Let’s choose unity over division, let’s choose confidence over fear, let’s choose lightness over darkness and let’s choose love over hate”, said Austin Mayor Steve Adler. We’ve fought for decades for our rights and equality.
Others stood up and read off the names of all of the victims.
